Shades are better suited for larger rooms - typically master bedroom or living rooms, where minimal light is needed to set the mood. They are practically immovable because of their large sheets and thick, heavy fabric. Shades look better on rooms that you want to look more sophisticated.

The ring-top curtain is hung exactly as the name states. Typically decorative rings are used to attached to a similarly decorated curtain rod. The rings are placed at intervals at the top of the curtain to show an even appearance.

The history of curtains goes right back to the 1700's when they were made out of cotton wool or silk, silk being the most expensive and exquisite. In the middle ages fabric was very expensive so only the very rich or upper classes would have them. It wasn't until the industrial era and the development of the textile trade that made fabric prices more affordable to most people. Once the glass industry was in full swing and homes were installed with glass windows, this again helped with the textile industry and brought the prices of curtains down.

Contemporary curtains can include curtains that are ruffled. These are good for a girl's room, bathroom or living room and can be any color you need. They can be made of polyester, linen or any other type of fabric that is appropriate for curtains. Some of these can be sheer and used behind other types of curtains like pinch pleated curtains. Retailers sell a large variety of these that sometimes include little boy's curtains as well. They can be printed with fire trucks, cowboys, cartoon characters and of a number of other designs. They offer privacy by obstructing the view from outside.
